&nb
sp;
I spoke to you in cautious tones
&n
bsp;
You answered me with no pretense
&n
bsp;
And still I feel I said too much
&n
bsp;
My silence is my self defense
&nb
sp;
And every time I've held a rose
&n
bsp;
It seems I only felt the thorns
&n
bsp;
And so it goes, and so it goes
&n
bsp;
And so will you soon I suppose
&nb
sp;
But if my silence made you leave
&n
bsp;
Then that would be my worst mistake
&n
bsp;
So I will share this room with you
&n
bsp;
And you can have this heart to break
&nb
sp;
And this is why my eyes are closed
&n
bsp;
It's just as well for all I've seen
&n
bsp;
And so it goes, and so it goes
&n
bsp;
And you're the only one who knows
&nb
sp;
So I would choose to be with you
&n
bsp;
That's if the choice were mine to make
&n
bsp;
But you can make decisions too
&n
bsp;
And you can have this heart to break
&nb
sp;
And so it goes, and so it goes
&n
bsp;
And you're the only one who knows
